Has anybody noticed that if field URL in DESCRIPTION contains a uri with 66 or more characters, then file DESCRIPTION in the resulting package includes a line break at the beginning?

So this (source DESCRIPTION):

URL: http://ecdc.europa.eu/en/data-tools/seroincidence-calculator-tool/Pages/default.aspx

becomes (again file DESCRIPTION, but inside the package)

URL:
http://ecdc.europa.eu/en/data-tools/seroincidence-calculator-tool/Pages/default.aspx

This has been tested with R on Windows 8.1 (devel 01/04/2015 and 3.1.3) and Linux Mint (3.1.3). It has many sad implications including not acceptance of such packages to CRAN.
